Default Trunk Battery Relocators (Ground)?

I have mine attached to the frame near the battery, but have not tried it.

I had a lug welded onto the plate that the cage sits on, and ran the same welding cable to the ground lug from the battery.

No ground related issues at all.

I've also, taken the tiny factory ground that the factory put on, and ditched it, in favor of a really thick/large ground that went from the motor plate tab to the block in the old motor mount position. Between that and the motor plate (alum I know but still a ground connection) the motor's grounded really good.

We usually weld a 3/8's bolt to the cage somewhere near the battery box, then just bolt your ground to that.

A bolt weldeed to the cage is what we do. THe closer to the bat the better. 1/0 for cable.

I bolted mine directly to the frame rail
